Simplified User Experience
Security is too complicated for end users.
It doesn't have to be.
The result is all too familiar:
End users often see security as an impediment in their worklife.
They just want to do
their jobs, not spend valuable time trying to log in
to the applications they need. The
results are all too familiar:
Your end users suffer from password fatigue. They have far too many passwords – each with different rules regarding their complexity – expiring far too frequently.
Your end users write passwords on sticky notes – and then leave them in plain view for anyone to see.
Your end users put dozens of passwords in a spreadsheet that may be password- protected, but probably is not. That leaves all the keys to your crown jewels virtually out in the open – unlocking a literal treasure trove for hackers.
In the end, your users often simply give in to the password fatigue. They just use the same username and password for all their applications – personal and professional.
When end users take steps like these it only serves to undermine your security efforts. In short, it makes your organization less secure.
It also chews up valuable time, both for end users and IT. Users get frustrated if they can’t get at the resources they need, and are forced to waste time resetting passwords. IT has to step in and help when the auto-resets don’t work as expected. Ever take a call from a CEO who’s locked out of an app? Not fun.
When end users cut corners like this it only
serves to undermine your security efforts.
In reality, those shortcuts make your
organization much more vulnerable.

Ever take a call from a CEO who’s locked out of an application right before a critical board meeting? Not a call you want to get.
Total Access Control offers a simple, two-part fix:
Give your users a single gateway
to all the applications they need
Total Access Control gives each end user their own, dynamic user portal that lists all the applications the user is authorized to access. To access an app, simply click on it. It doesn’t get any easier.

TAC gives each of your end users their own dynamic user portal that shows all the applications that user is authorized to access. To access an application, all they have to do is simply click on it. It doesn’t get any easier.
HERE’S WHAT TOTAL ACCESS CONTROL’S DYNAMIC USER PORTAL DELIVERS
Consistent user experience
Users enjoy a consistent portal experience regardless of the device they’re using or the location they log
in from. The portal is tailored to deliver a good experience for each device type, but the look and feel
will be familiar, making it easy to navigate.
Administrators can define the exact criteria that must be met to allow user access for an entire portal or
for individual applications. The same user who is allowed access to a financial application while using a
company laptop on the corporate network may be denied access to the same application when using
the same company laptop from a remote location or when using a smart phone, for example.
Such policy decisions are up to your organization – but Total Access Control makes sure they’re applied
consistently and dynamically.
Dynamic User Portal
With Zero Trust Access Control, TAC’s portal shows only the applications each user is authorized to access – at any point in time. Access rights change depending on:
Device Type
Device Status
User Location
Certificates
Time of Day
FLEXIBLE, CUSTOMIZABLE ARCHITECTURE
Portals use standard Web protocols so editing and creating a customized look and feel is easy. Use your preferred Web editing tool to:
Apply Your Logo
Create Colors
Customize Screens
Add Titles to Display
Add Instructions
Tailor Pages
Ease the pain of your users by
ending the password nightmare
Passwords can be the bane of any employee’s existence, especially knowledge workers who employ dozens of applications day-to-day – the same people who are likely doing the most valuable work for your organization.
Forgotten passwords are also costly for IT. Gartner estimates 20% to 50% of all help desk calls are for password resets, and Forrester Research estimates the average cost of each password reset is $70.

Having multiple devices, which most workers do, only compounds the problem. Maybe a user changes a password when using a laptop, then finds the password saved in his tablet or smart phone no longer works – and has to remember what the new one is before getting locked out.
